“It’s a shame!” she exclaimed. “Why, Doro, we can’t even see the ranch-house from here.”
“Isn’t that too bad?” agreed her chum. “Never mind. We got here.”
“I wanted to see all over the range.”
“We can see up into the mountains—how near the peaks seem now,” said Dorothy. “And, oh, Tavia! the sun is setting.”
“Well! goodness! you’d give one a conniption——”
“But we must hurry right down the hill. Suppose we should be caught up here all night?”
“Up in the ‘mountain-top, tip-top!’ Not so much fun,” admitted her chum. “But it must be early yet. You see, the sun goes down behind those peaks so soon. There will be a long twilight.”
“I don’t want to be in these hills in the twilight,” said Dorothy. “We must go back.”
